If you have 3 minutes to spare this weekend, please take a moment to write council in support of Clr Maloney's Halloween block party motion! Click the link below, it's super easy.
Halloween is the one night of the year kids get to take over the neighbourhood - but when it comes to the risk of being hit by drivers, it's also by far the most dangerous.
@lucymaloney.bsky.social has a motion to fix this! Please read & email council (and call if you can) with your support!

Living in Vancouver is fun because you’ll just be getting ice cream and turn to the person behind you to say, go ahead we’re still deciding, and then that person will be Kate Siegel from like, all of my favourite horror series. Neat!

When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts.

Yes, we could. But rallying the base around that project and genocidal historical figure is a choice.
17,000 labourers were brought from China and assigned the most dangerous terrain. They were underpaid, 4,000 of them died, and the rest were abandoned in Canada, destitute. #CdnPoli
